Re: [Wlug] Overriding NIS accounts

Bill> No joy. That didn't do it, unless I need to reboot something. Works for me on a RHEL5.5 box. I took one of my users, changed his home directory and put it into /etc/passwd on the local system. sudo su - <user> put me into the new home dir, just like I expected. I have: passwd: files nis in /etc/nsswitch.conf What do you see on your RHEL5.3 box when you do: getent passwd <user> that will tell you also. Also, make sure you bouce the nscd daemon, it might be caching the old entries. John
